Who wants to be a millionaire?
Nearly 2oo people in Woodbridge auditioned this morning to be on the game show of the same name. They lined up at 7 a.m. outside the old Toby Keithâs I love This Bar and Grill restaurant at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center to participate in the audition.
Show hopefuls were taken inside the restaurant where they were met with high-energy dance music to lighten up the mood. Then they were given a 30-question, multiple choice test, and were given 10 minutes to complete it.
âItâs got everything from Hamlet to âHoney Boo Booâ on it,â said Millionaire Supervising Producer Liz Harris.
Afterward, contestants move on to the interview phase of the process where those who work on the show get to know personalities. Theyâre looking for someone whoâs energetic and shows enthusiasm on TV.
âWe want viewers at home to be able to route for them, and say âwow, heâs just like my crazy uncle,ââ added Harris.
Leslie Brodsky traveled from Silver Spring, Md. for the casting call. If the retired lawyer lands a spot on the show and wins, sheâll take her $1 million and startup a new law firm called âMighty Mouse Law Firm.â
âSomeone has to be there for the little old lady who’s getting evicted from her home by a bad landlord and doesnât have a lot of money to take him to court,â said Brodsky.
Woodbridge was the second stop on this yearâs annual âWho Wants to be a Millionaireâ annual casting call. The show just held a casting call in St. Louis, and will be headed to Baltimore, Boston, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City before wrapping up the casting process.
If you didnât make it to this morningâs session, another casting session will be held at the same location in Woodbridge starting at 5 p.m. today.
